On December 7, 2009, the Indiana Historical Society
recognized the North Manchester Historical Society as
the "Outstanding
Historical Organization"
for the year 2009 in Indiana. We are extremely
proud to have received this annual state-wide award.
Everyone is to be congratulated for their hard work and
continuing efforts. This special recognition is given
annually to a local or county historical society,
organization or site in Indiana "which has demonstrated
remarkable public services and programs to its
community." The awards dinner and ceremony took place in
the Eli Lilly Hall of the Indiana Historical Society
building in Indianapolis.
